Dealer level diagnosis on Ferrari & Maserati models

Maybe you are a first-time home buyer, or maybe you will be selling a home and looking for something new, either way the spring real estate market is fast and approaching and you want to be ready. This is an exciting time of year in the real estate industry and for everyone buying and selling homes. It can be a little crazy though, so here are some tips to help you be prepared. It’s not too early to start getting ready.

Start Looking at Listings

Start looking at real estate listings right away. Get a feel for the neighbourhoods that you are interested in and what is available. With the advancement of technology, it is now possible to do a large part of your search from the comfort of your own home. Don’t forget to use social media as well as it can be an important tool. Even if you have no intentions of buying until later in the spring, this research can be invaluable when that time comes.

Line Up Your Team

One step that is often overlooked is lining up the rest of your real estate team. It’s obvious that you need a real estate agent and a mortgage broker, but there are a few other people to consider. To buy a home you will need a real estate lawyer. Your lawyer will look over all agreements, titles, and documents to be sure that everything is legal and that there are no surprises. Lawyers also collect and disperse the money in the sale of a home. A home appraisal is by no means mandatory to buy a home, it is smart to do your due-diligence before making a purchase of this magnitude. Find a good home appraiser ahead of time so you are not scrambling once your conditional offer has been accepted. Ask your friends and family members for referrals for both lawyers and inspectors and you will likely find that you have numerous recommendations to work from.
